This review summarizes the complications that can occur during thoracic endovascular aortic repair for type B aortic dissection, along with strategies for their recognition and correction.
This review provides a summary of potential complications during TEVAR for type B aortic dissection and strategies for their recognition and correction.
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has become the gold standard treatment for patients with type B aortic dissections (TBAD) requiring surgical intervention. 1-3However, TEVAR for TBAD (TEVAR-AD) has several nuances that are distinct from treatment of other thoracic aortic pathology such as aneurysms and blunt thoracic aortic injuries.The aim of this article is to summarize the factors that can go awry during TEVAR-AD and how to recognize and correct these complications.
Rengel et al. (Wed,) conducted a review in Type B aortic dissection. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) was evaluated. This review summarizes the complications that can occur during thoracic endovascular aortic repair for type B aortic dissection, along with strategies for their recognition and correction.
